Flavor physics is a branch of particle physics that studies the properties and interactions of different types of quarks and leptons, focusing on the concept of flavor. It is closely related to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) theory, which describes the strong interaction between quarks, often referred to as "color" physics. The electroweak theory, specifically the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg model, is sometimes referred to as Quantum Flavor Dynamics, highlighting its connection to flavor physics within the Standard Model of particle physics.
